At MotorisedBlinds.co.uk, we specialise in made-to-measure electric blinds that bring convenience, style and smart home integration to every room in your home. With so many options available, choosing the right motorised blind can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you find the perfect fit.

What to Consider Before Buying Motorised Blinds

Before selecting your electric blinds, think about how the room is used. Is it a bedroom where you need complete darkness? A kitchen that might see splashes and moisture? A living space where you want flexible light control throughout the day?

Light and privacy should be top priorities. Blackout blinds work brilliantly in bedrooms and home offices, while sheer or light-filtering options suit living areas where you want natural light without sacrificing privacy.

If you’re choosing blinds for a child’s room, our motorised blinds are child-safe by design – completely cordless and chainless, eliminating the risks associated with traditional blinds.

Motorised Roller Blinds

Our motorised roller blinds are our most popular choice, and it’s easy to see why. They offer clean, contemporary styling that works in virtually any room. Available in polyester and PVC fabrics, you can choose from blackout, light-filtering or sheer options depending on your needs.

These blinds work beautifully in bedrooms, kitchens and living spaces. The PVC options are particularly practical for bathrooms and kitchens where moisture resistance matters.

Cassette Motorised Roller Blinds

For a more polished, streamlined look, our cassette motorised roller blinds house the fabric roll within a neat headbox. This protects the fabric when retracted, keeps dust out, and gives a cleaner finish at the top of your window. They’re especially popular in modern homes and commercial spaces where aesthetics matter.

Motorised Double Roller Blinds

Can’t decide between privacy and light control? Our motorised double roller blinds give you both. These clever blinds feature two fabrics on the same bracket – a blackout roller paired with a sheer fabric.

During the day, use the sheer blind for soft, filtered light while maintaining privacy from passers-by. Come evening, drop the blackout blind for darkness. It’s the best of both worlds, controlled at the touch of a button.

Motorised Roman Blinds

If you prefer soft, elegant folds over the streamlined look of rollers, our motorised roman blinds deliver that classic aesthetic with modern convenience. Available in beautiful poly-cotton and poly-linen fabrics, they add texture and warmth to bedrooms and living rooms.

Roman blinds stack neatly when raised and create beautiful horizontal pleats that soften your windows. The motorised operation means no pulling on cords – just smooth, effortless movement every time.

Motorised Wood Venetian Blinds

For those who love the natural warmth of timber, our motorised wood venetian blinds bring organic beauty to your space. Choose from real wood for authentic grain patterns and premium feel, or faux wood for improved moisture resistance and durability.

Wood blinds act as natural insulators, helping regulate room temperature throughout the year. They’re a smart choice if you’re looking to reduce energy consumption and keep heating bills down. The motorised tilt function lets you adjust light levels precisely throughout the day.

Thermal Motorised Blinds

Struggling with heat loss through your windows? Our thermal motorised blinds feature specially designed fabrics that help insulate your home. They keep warmth in during winter and reflect heat away during summer, making them a practical choice for south-facing windows and conservatories.

Smart Hub Electric Blinds

Take your blinds to the next level with our smart hub electric blinds. These connect to the Somfy TaHoma system, giving you control through your smartphone, voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, or automated schedules.

Imagine your blinds opening automatically at sunrise, closing when you leave for work, or responding to a simple “Alexa, close the blinds.” It’s not just convenient – it’s also a great security feature, making your home look occupied even when you’re away.

Children’s Blackout Motorised Blinds

Getting little ones to sleep can be challenging enough without light streaming through the windows. Our children’s blackout motorised blinds create complete darkness for daytime naps and early summer bedtimes.

Because they’re completely cordless and chainless, they eliminate the safety hazards associated with traditional blind cords. You can adjust them remotely without even entering the room – perfect for not disturbing a sleeping child.

Blinds for Bifold and Sliding Doors

Large glass doors present unique challenges for window coverings. Our motorised blinds for bifold doors and sliding doors are designed specifically for these wider openings. The motorised operation makes controlling multiple large blinds effortless – no more struggling with heavy manual blinds or tangled cords.

Blinds for Bay Windows

Bay windows add character to a home but can be tricky to dress. Our made-to-measure motorised blinds are crafted to fit each section perfectly, with the option to control them individually or as a group from a single remote.
